Kerala "human sacrifice": The accused couple are not party members nor do they have any post in the party or its associated organisations, said CPM.
The ruling CPM in Kerala on Thursday denied reports that two of the three accused in the "human sacrifice" case are its active members, terming them as “baseless”.
CPM District Secretary K P Udayabhanu said the couple, accused in the double murder case, are not party members nor do they have any post in the party or its associated organisations.
"The reports that the accused in the double murder case are active members of the CPI(M) are baseless. They are not party members nor do they have any responsibility in the party or in any of its associated organisations as claimed by the media houses," Mr Udayabhanu said in a statement.
Three persons -- Bhagaval Singh (68), a massage therapist and his wife Laila (59), along with prime accused Mohammed Shafi (52), were arrested after details of the gruesome murders came out on October 11.
